From This article, I want to download new version of the Linux kernel so the first commands to execute is add-apt-repository ppa:kernel-ppa/ppa but when I use it says that it cannod add PPA and that the user named '~kernel-ppa' has no PPA named 'ubuntu/ppa'.

Why is that?

vm@vm:~$ sudo add-apt-repository ppa:kernel-ppa/ppa
Cannot add PPA: 'ppa:~kernel-ppa/ubuntu/ppa'.
The user named '~kernel-ppa' has no PPA named 'ubuntu/ppa'
Please choose from the following available PPAs:

  • NOTE: The kernel in Ubuntu distributions has optimizations, additions and customization related to Ubuntu special "tweaks". If you replace the kernel with something from another "place" - you will most likely lose some functionality, unless you have the knowledge to re-do those. So: "updating" the kernel ON YOUR OWN is not easy to do right. – Hannu Nov 15 '20 at 11:28
